Cravings. Those are a real thing and are extremely hard to beat. If you ever start a low carb diet, you'll notice the first few weeks that you tend to crave a whole lot of carbs ranging from cakes to bread or pasta.
This is completely common as your body just needs to adjust to eating low carb. The cravings usually disappear after a few weeks and you can continue your low-carb diet. Eating low carb, it's important to get plenty of healthy fats into your diet. These can come from avocado, butter, animals, oil and so on.
Eating a good amount of fat throughout the day can keep you feeling full and this helps stop binge eating. I decided to make myself some fat bombs that are hassle free and that I can grab one whenever. These Raspberry Almond Chocolate Fat Bombs are perfect when you deserve a nice treat 🙂
You can think of these as mini chocolate bars that you can customize with anything you want. For this recipe I decided to make them using [easyazon_link identifier="B004T80BYE" locale="US" tag="mypcoskitchen05-20 "]coconut butter[/easyazon_link] and [easyazon_link identifier="B000V79VSY" locale="US" tag="mypcoskitchen05-20 "]almond butter[/easyazon_link] and topped it with some chopped almonds, walnuts and frozen raspberries.
These bars are entirely sweetened with stevia powder and give the perfect sweetness to the chocolate. I chose to use frozen raspberries in this recipe because when I microwaved them, their juices squeezed out and I poured it all over the raw chocolate, which in turn infused the chocolate flavor with the sweet raspberry juices!
For more fat-bomb recipes, you'll definitely want to try these keto peanut butter cups. They taste just like the original just without all of the sugar.
This recipe was inspired by recipes over at easybreezybites.com. She has lots of unique recipes that aren't great for the PCOS diet but can easily be tweaked.

Delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Audrey
Can you use freeze dried Raspberries instead of frozen?
Mira
Hi Audrey, it should be fine!
Susan
Is coconut butter the same as coconut oil?
Mira
No it's not, but you could use it in this recipe too. Coconut butter is the white flesh of the coconut that's been crushed and pureed. Coconut oil is the fat from the coconut that's been extracted.
Hélène Nicole
All my neighborhood loves those!
Jessica
Wooaa looks amazing! Will be hard not to eat the whole thing!
Tina Romano
I only have reg butter, coconut oil, peanut butter and tahini.. what's the best combination to use here?
Mira
It's not going to be the same, but you could try peanut butter and coconut oil with cocoa powder and the sweetener. Butter and tahini won't taste good. Freeze it too, it may not solidify in the fridge without the actual ingredients from the recipe.

Hello Mira, Thanks for sharing PCOS friendly recipes with us. I need to ask one question other than this recipe. As you are mostly using Stevia in your recipes. I have heard stevia stops ovulation. Is it true? If you know something about it kindly share.
Mira
Hello, and thanks for commenting.
Around 60 years ago there was a study by Professor Joseph Kruc who gave stevia extract to a few rats to see if it would affect their fertility. He gave the rats such high doses (about 2500mg) for 4-6 weeks that it did in fact cause problems. However, because it was such a high dose, whereas humans only consume about 2mg max per day (if you ate stevia everyday), it wasn't a legitimate research because any high amount of anything (alcohol, sugar, gluten) can impact one's fertility. The research nowwadays prooves that stevia is in fact safe for human consumption and that the previous research 70 years ago was using way too extreme cases where we humans wouldn't even use that much. So it is totally safe and much better than any other alternative because one it is a natural sweetener that has zero effect on the body with zero calories and zero carbs, and two it has a 0 glycemic index. Every other sweetener will either be a sugar alcohol, real sugar or artificial ones.
I've used stevia for the past 10 years or so and it has never affected me negatively. I also ovulate and get my periods each month btw.

I just made these and they are delicious, however, I have run the recipe through two different Nutrition facts sites and both have the caloric value over 275 calories per serving. I was wondering why I am getting such a large difference.
Mira
I use fatsecret. This makes 8 servings so maybe you didn't put that in?
This is for the entire recipe and then it divides into 8, which is what the nutritional label says.

You have left out the 1/2 cup coconut butter which is 840 calories divided by 8. That adds roughly 100 calories to your numbers. But they are delicious and definitely a special treat! Thanks!

Hey these look fantastic and I'd like to make it sometime! I had one question though, since I've never tried to make fat bombs - do you think it'll be okay to use just one type of butter? Which out of coconut butter or almond butter might be better/tastier? Thanks (:
Mira
Hi! You could definitely just use one butter for them. I like the mix of both. If you use coconut butter, it'll have a coconut taste, but if you use almond butter (or any other nut butter), it'll have a slight nutty taste. I found the mix of both butters made it have a more chocolaty taste!
Hope that helps 🙂
